The Authors report a case of vaginitis caused by Eikenella corrodens (E.C.) and point out it is very rare all over the world (probably the first case reported in Italy). The E.C. was the only one isolated from the vaginal specimen. They emphasized the importance of bacteria isolation in subacute or relapsing vaginitis and relevant sensibility to antibiotic assays. These are generally neglected but still able to give unexpected results then allowing a target therapy.

is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium typically found in the oropharynx and respiratory tract of humans. It is responsible for various infections, including head-and-neck infections, pericarditis, and abscesses of the deltoid, perirenal tissue, brain, and liver. Increasing antibiotic resistance requires urgent identification of novel drug targets to fight this bacterium.

Objective: To provide a comprehensive summary of the available evidence on the oral microbiota of humans and non-human primates about the etiology of periodontal disease.
Design: An integrative literature review was conducted on 398 clinical and observational articles published between 2010 and 2024 using searches in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Virtual Health Library, and SciELO databases. After the screening, eligibility, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment, 21 studies were selected.

Article Synopsis
- Red complex bacteria are highly virulent in periodontal disease, and this study focused on their relationships with other oral bacteria in older Japanese individuals.
- Polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze dental plaque from 116 subjects, finding that individuals positive for red complex bacteria had significantly higher detection rates of certain periodontal pathogens compared to those who were negative.
- The findings indicate that individuals harboring all three red complex species have a unique oral microbiome, showcasing greater α-diversity and lower β-diversity, suggesting they may be more prone to developing periodontal disease.
Stress and mental health symptoms in early pregnancy are associated with the oral microbiome.

Background: Research has revealed associations between microbes of the gastrointestinal tract and stress, anxiety and depression in pregnant or postpartum women. While these studies suggest a gut-brain-behaviour axis, no studies have examined microbes of the oral cavity in relation to maternal mental health.
Objective: To explore a potential oral-brain-behaviour axis related to maternal mental health.
Associations between Wastewater Microbiome and Population Smoking Rate Identified Using Wastewater-Based Epidemiology.

Tobacco use is known to cause health damage, partly by changing the mouth, respiratory tract, and gut-related microbiomes. This study aims to identify the associations between the human microbiome detected in domestic wastewater and the population smoking rate. Metagenomic sequencing and a biomarker discovery algorithm were employed to identify microorganisms as potential microbial biomarkers of smoking through wastewater-based epidemiology.
